We were doing a sync from cooker to ROME. The repos gave a 404 because they were offline. It would not have mattered what package you were trying to install.

With that out of the way, welcome! We are glad to see you here.

OH! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for helping, sorry my question was a bit pointless. Just ran the command again, worked as expected. Thank goodness it wasn’t a complicated solution, I was worried for a sec. Thank you for responding so quickly and have a great day!
